Genesis 50
1 Joseph leaned close to his father’s face and cried over him and kissed him.
Então José se lançou sobre o rosto de seu pae; e chorou sobre elle, e o beijou.
2 Joseph commanded his servants who were morticians to (embalm his father’s body/put spices on his father’s body) to (preserve it/keep it from decaying), and then wrap it with strips of cloth.
E José ordenou aos seus servos, os medicos, que embalsamassem a seu pae: e os medicos embalsamaram a Israel.
3 So the morticians did that. It took 40 days to embalm Jacob’s body, because that is the amount of time that was always required for them to embalm a body. And the people of Egypt mourned for 70 days because of Jacob’s death.
E cumpriram-se-lhe quarenta dias; porque assim se cumprem os dias d'aquelles que se embalsamam: e os egypcios o choraram setenta dias.
4 When the time of mourning was finished, Joseph said to the king’s officials, “If you are pleased with me, please take this message to the king:
Passados pois os dias de seu choro, fallou José á casa de Pharaó, dizendo: Se agora tenho achado graça aos vossos olhos, rogo-vos que falleis aos ouvidos de Pharaó, dizendo:
5 ‘When my father was about to die, he told me to solemnly promise that I would bury his body in Canaan, in the tomb that he himself had prepared. So please let me go up to Canaan and bury my father’s body. Then I will return.’”
Meu pae me fez jurar, dizendo: Eis que eu morro: em meu sepulchro, que cavei para mim na terra de Canaan, ali me sepultarás. Agora pois, te peço, que eu suba, para que sepulte a meu pae; então voltarei.
6 After they gave the king the message, he replied, “Tell Joseph, ‘Go up and bury your father’s body, as you (swore/solemnly promised) that you would do.’”
E Pharaó disse: Sobe, e sepulta a teu pae como elle te fez jurar.
7 So Joseph went [up to Canaan] to bury his father’s body. All of the king’s officials, all the king’s advisors, and all the elders in Egypt went with him.
E José subiu para sepultar a seu pae: e subiram com elle todos os servos de Pharaó, os anciãos da sua casa, e todos os anciãos da terra do Egypto,
8 His own family’s small children and their sheep and goats and their cattle stayed in the Goshen region. But all the rest of Joseph’s family and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and his father’s family went with him.
Como tambem toda a casa de José, e seus irmãos, e a casa de seu pae: sómente deixaram na terra de Gosen os seus meninos e as suas ovelhas, e as suas vaccas.
9 Men riding in chariots [MTY] and on horses also went along. It was a huge group.
E subiram tambem com elle, tanto carros como gente a cavallo; e o concurso foi grandissimo.
10 They went to the east side of the Jordan [River] and arrived at Atad. There was a place there where people (threshed/beat the grain to separate the wheat from the chaff.) There they mourned loudly for Jacob for a long time. Joseph performed mourning ceremonies for his father for seven days.
Chegando elles pois á planicie do espinhal, que está além do Jordão, fizeram um grande e gravissimo pranto; e fez a seu pae um grande pranto por sete dias.
11 When the Canaan people-group who lived there saw them mourning like that, they said, “This is a sad mourning place for the people of Egypt!” So they named the place Abel-Mizraim, [which sounds like the Hebrew words that mean ‘mourning of the Egyptians].’
E vendo os moradores da terra, os cananeos, o luto na planicie do espinhal, disseram: É este o pranto grande dos egypcios. Por isso chamou-se o seu nome Abelmizraim, que está além do Jordão.
12 Then Jacob’s sons did for him what their father had commanded.
E fizeram-lhe os seus filhos assim como elle lhes ordenara,
13 They [crossed the Jordan River and] carried Jacob’s body to Canaan. They buried it in the cave in the field at Machpelah, east of Mamre [town]. That was the field that Abraham had bought from Ephron, who was one of the Heth people-group, to use as a burial place.
Pois os seus filhos o levaram á terra de Canaan, e o sepultaram na cova do campo de Machpela, que Abrahão tinha comprado com o campo, por herança de sepultura, d'Ephron, o hetheo, em frente de Mamre.
14 After he had buried his father, Joseph and his [older] brothers [and younger brother] and all the others who had gone up to Canaan with him for the funeral returned to Egypt.
Depois tornou-se José para o Egypto, elle e seus irmãos, e todos os que com elle subiram a sepultar seu pae, depois de haver sepultado seu pae.
15 After Jacob died, Joseph’s brothers became worried. They realized what might happen. They said, “Suppose Joseph hates us and tries to get revenge for all the evil things that we did to him many years ago?”
Vendo então os irmãos de José que seu pae já estava morto, disseram: Porventura nos aborrecerá José, e nos pagará certamente todo o mal que lhe fizemos.
16 So they sent someone to tell this to Joseph for them: “Before our father died, he told us this:
Portanto enviaram a José, dizendo: Teu pae mandou, antes da sua morte, dizendo:
17 ‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive your [older] brothers for the evil thing that they did to you, for their terrible sin against you, because what they did to you was very wrong.”’ So now we, who are servants of your father’s God, ask you, please forgive us for what we did to you.” But Joseph just cried when he received their message.
Assim direis a José: Perdoa, rogo-te, a transgressão de teus irmãos, e o seu peccado, porque te fizeram mal: agora pois rogamos-te que perdoes a transgressão dos servos do Deus de teu pae. E José chorou quando elles lhe fallavam.
18 Then his [older] brothers themselves came and threw themselves on the ground in front of Joseph, and one of them said, “Please listen. We will just be your servants.”
Depois vieram tambem seus irmãos, e prostraram-se diante d'elle, e disseram: Eis-nos aqui por teus servos.
19 But Joseph replied to them, “Do not be afraid! [God is the one who punishes people]; (am I God?/I am not God!) [RHQ]
E José lhes disse: Não temaes, porque porventura estou eu em logar de Deus?
20 As for you, yes, you wanted to do something very evil to me. But God caused something good to come from it! He wanted to save many people from dying of hunger, and that is what happened! Today they are alive!
Vós bem intentastes mal contra mim, porém Deus o intentou para bem, para fazer como está n'este dia, para conservar em vida a um povo grande:
21 So I say [again], do not be afraid! I will make sure that you and your children have enough to eat.” In that way he reassured them and made made them feel much better.
Agora pois não temaes: eu vos sustentarei a vós e a vossos meninos. Assim os consolou, e fallou segundo o coração d'elles.
22 Joseph lived with his father’s family in Egypt until he was 110 years old.
José pois habitou no Egypto, elle e a casa de seu pae: e viveu José cento e dez annos,
23 He lived long enough to see Ephraim’s children and grandchildren. The children of Joseph’s grandson Machir, who was Manasseh’s son, were born before Joseph died, and were adopted by Joseph to be his own children [IDM].
E viu José os filhos de Ephraim, da terceira geração: tambem os filhos de Machir, filho de Manasseh, nasceram sobre os joelhos de José.
24 One day Joseph said to his [older] brothers, “I am about to die. But God will certainly (help/take care of) you. And [some day] he will lead your [descendants] up out of this land and take them to Canaan, the land that he solemnly promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
E disse José a seus irmãos: Eu morro; mas Deus certamente vos visitará, e vos fará subir d'esta terra á terra que jurou a Abrahão, a Isaac e a Jacob
25 Then Joseph said, “When God enables you to do that, you must take my body back to Canaan.” He made his older brothers solemnly promise to do that.
E José fez jurar os filhos de Israel, dizendo: Certamente vos visitará Deus, e fareis transportar os meus ossos d'aqui.
26 So Joseph died in Egypt when he was 110 years old. His body was embalmed and put in a coffin there.
E morreu José da edade de cento e dez annos; e o embalsamaram, e o pozeram n'um caixão no Egypto.
